I had never seen anyone make sweet love to a banjo like this before.
Ron Paul Elected Ruler of Planet Inhabited By 1 Billion Tiny Ron Pauls

quote:

The cheers were followed by several minutes of the crowd chanting "Ron, Ron, Ron," the tossing of tiny hats into the air, and 30 minutes of meticulously choreographed spectacle in which thousands of Ron Pauls in color-coded outfits marched, danced, and formed images from the life and career of their new leader. Finally, a parade carried Paul from the city courthouse down Paul Boulevard to the Imperial Palace, the procession joined by countless legions of Ron Pauls and a teeny, tiny 200-piece brass band.

This is loving ridiculous and I love it.

I have to admit, Onion Talks isn't really doing it for me. Maybe it's just because TED Talks is already beyond self-parody or Reggie Watts already did a pitch-perfect pisstake at the actual TED Talks.:

Yes, this commercial is so awful, you'd need to watch 10 of The Onion's best videos in a row to cancel it out. Too bad you can't do that without having to watch the commercial again!
